We have big news! We are pleased and excited to announce that SEEK has a new home with the Minnesota Association for Environmental Education (MAEE).
This year, MAEE was proud to recognize four people who have impacted the Environmental Education field in positive ways. We celebrated these awardees with a Social at Eastman Nature Center on Sunday afternoon, November 5th. The Awards Social allowed time for the recipients of the awards to celebrate with their families and friends as well as to share their thoughts on the work they and others have done for Environmental Education in Minnesota.
It was an idyllic autumn day when fellow MAEE board member, River Ostrow, and I set off from St. Paul, MN to the regional Midwest Environmental Education Conference in St. Charles, IL. Hosted by the Environmental Education Association of Illinois (www.eeai.net), this year’s conference theme was “Live in the Now, Focus on the Future”. We saw that theme in action through workshops, education sessions, field trips, and featured speakers.
The 2017 Awards Social will be held on Sunday, November 5th from 2pm – 4pm. (Don’t forget to set your clocks forward the night before). This is a free event and light refreshments will be served.

By: Wendy Tremblay, MAEE Board of Directors and Early Childhood Nature Specialist “Why do you do it?” A simple question. Not always with a simple answer. I’ve been asked this question more than once in the past month, and it really got me thinking about my purpose. Not just in my current job or my …
By Guest Blogger: Bailey Stanard As a part time interpretive naturalist sitting in the warm office of my full time job while my naturalist coworkers get to explore the great outdoors this week, I find myself a little less envious than on a warm spring day.
